Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

The person sent by the Queen to gather information was her personal maid Yurong. After reporting the news, she silently withdrew and returned to the Queen's side.

She took people to question many people along the way, including some of their own people, and the confessions they obtained basically proved Mu Qingli's innocence.

Mu Qingli also stood up to express her gratitude to the Queen, with a hint of gratitude in her soft voice.

"Thank you, Queen, for clearing my name. If there are still people who don't believe me, I can do nothing about it."

Concubine Ying, who had been called out without saying a word, calmly grasped the handkerchief in her hand. She felt extremely aggrieved in her heart but had to put on a smile.

What happened today was really a loss of both the wife and the army. I should not have agreed to let my daughter do such a thing!

She regretted it to death, but it was too late to regret now. Fortunately, these eunuchs were tight-lipped and she was not worried that they would give her away.

Cheng Qin naturally had to pretend to do so, and quickly stood up and thanked his daughter together.

Even though the queen was a little anxious at the moment, she couldn't help but smile when she saw them thanking her so solemnly, and she even gave them some gifts to calm them down.

Mu Qingli thanked him again and sat down with his mother, waiting for the remaining two princes to arrive.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Gu Luoheng's concerned gaze, then she lowered her head and subtly concealed the smile in her eyes.

She was carried away and quickly brought into a large hall, where they used some sleeping pills to knock people down.

But even she didn't expect that there was someone else in the bed besides her.

Soon the eldest prince and the seventh prince hurried over followed by Nanny He, but Nanny He's face didn't look very good either.

"Reporting to the Queen, His Highness's jade pendant is also lost. I have found the Seventh Prince's jade pendant. Please examine it, Your Highness."

The Queen had guessed all along the way, so she was not surprised at this moment. She took it calmly and examined it carefully. It was indeed the jade pendant of the Seventh Prince.

When the Inner Court made these four jade pendants, they were all marked with special marks to record the rankings among the princes. It is obvious at a glance that these things cannot be faked.

On the way here, Lu Tingqi had heard everything from Nanny He and knew what had happened. He raised his hand and explained a few words for himself.

"Mother, I drank quite a bit today and felt a little dizzy, so I went out for a walk and then returned to the palace to rest. I really didn't notice when the jade pendant was lost."

After all, this jade pendant is of great significance. My father once told them to carry it with them, so by the time he found out it was lost, it was too late and he could only come here with me.

The other people in the hall had different expressions and strange looks in their eyes.

Only four princes have the same jade pendant. Now there are four of them here, but there are only two jade pendants. This is really interesting.

It must be the Queen’s (Royal Concubine’s) doing!

The Empress Dowager and Concubine An both had a similar thought in their minds at the same time, but they would not reveal anything at this time.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense for a moment, but soon someone spoke again.

"Master Gu, when I saw you outside before, I remember you told your guards that you were going to look for Miss Mu. How come you didn't find them just now?"

Lu Yao also came back. Seeing the people of the Mu family gradually getting rid of suspicion, she was very angry and spoke immediately with a twinkle in her eyes.

As soon as she said this, everyone's attention was drawn to Mu Qingli.

Mu Qingli remained calm and composed, but he showed a puzzled expression again.

"Your Majesty, I've only just returned home, but I've heard that the Fifth Princess can be seen wherever the Gu family goes. I thought it was just gossip, but is it true?"

These doubtful words directly revealed the fact that Concubine Ying's daughter was shamelessly chasing after the eldest son of the Gu family.

Isn't that a joke? They don't even care about the dignity and face of a princess. She wants to see how these people can still be so arrogant in front of her in the future.

A hint of smile appeared in the queen's eyes. She couldn't help but cough lightly and scolded her lightly.

"Miss Mu just returned to the capital and I'm afraid there might be some misunderstandings. Not everyone in the palace is like this. Who knows, you might see this kind of joke again after you get married."

She now suspected that the loss of her son's jade pendant was related to the imperial concubine, so she naturally would not give the imperial concubine's people any face when she spoke.

The handkerchief in Concubine Ying's hand had been crumpled to pieces by her, and her face was turning blue and red, and she could hardly suppress the anger in her heart.

The two of them were almost trampling on her daughter's face and crushing it on the ground. It would be strange if she was in a good mood.

Concubine An's expression was not very good either. She looked at the Fifth Princess with disdain and then spoke out to support her.

"Miss Mu, why are you so anxious to speak? The Fifth Princess is asking about Master Gu. What if he saw something on his way to find you and didn't tell us?"

Unfortunately, it was not so easy for her to shift the blame to the Mu and Gu families, because Gu Luoheng immediately stood up, bowed and began to explain.

"I did run into the Fifth Princess outside the palace, but I quickly retreated. It was the guards around me who told me that the Mu family's younger sister hadn't returned to the palace yet, so I was worried and wanted to go over and help look for her.

Who knew that he would meet the drunk His Royal Highness Prince Ting on the road. His Royal Highness was alone and drunk, so I couldn't bear to leave him alone, so I had to send him back with the guards.

When I rushed back, I met the princess and the Mu family sister at the door, and then we went to Chunhe Palace together.

Lu Tingqi in the audience even spoke up to help explain directly.

"It's exactly as Master Gu said. Mother, you must investigate this thoroughly. My son can drink quite well, but after drinking today, he felt inexplicably hot.

If Master Gu hadn't sent me back in time, I would have fallen into someone's trap. It's a shame I still lost the jade pendant. Please, Mother, investigate and clear my name!"

The queen held the jade pendant in her hand with an ugly expression on her face. She had thought that the imperial concubine's men would attack the Mu family, but she didn't expect that the other party would make a feint to the east and attack in the west and actually go after her son.

If it wasn't for the eldest son of the Gu family who came to her aid and sent the person back, she might have seen her own son in Chunhe Palace just now. This would clearly ruin his chances of becoming the crown prince!

When she thought of this, a huge rage surged in her heart. She glanced at Concubine An gloomily before thanking Gu Luoheng a few words.

Gu Luoheng said a few polite words before sitting down.

Mu Qingli glanced at Lu Tingqi in the hall indifferently, then quickly lowered his eyes to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes.

When she opened her eyes in Chunhe Palace, she saw Lu Tingqi lying beside her and she almost couldn't help but kill him. After all, if he hadn't been so hypocritical in her previous life, why would she have lost her heart and her family!

Fortunately, someone came too quickly, otherwise...
